Hey, not dead! Just over here stressing about school and planning a wedding that is happening in 2 months 🙃
These are my people.
Betting I’ve reblogged this before. Betting I’ll reblog it when it turns up again.
In addition to the print terminology stuff: the visual shorthand icons and ad graphics for something about writing are still often pen-nibs, fountain pens and typewriters…
…while graphics of a monitor, keyboard and mouse remain visual shorthand for computing…
…even though most writers now use monitor / keyboard / mouse or even laptop / touchpad.
In addition, headers for “this blog / website is about writing” are often in one of the many imitation typewriter fonts complete with smudges, or just Courier.
The start and end call icons on most / all smartphones is still the handset of a classic desk telephone, and sometimes the open-app icon is a complete phone.
The term “hang up” for “end the call” refers to something even older - one of these…
And of course the Save icon is indeed a 3½ inch floppy disc.
Why it wasn’t a 5¼ floppy is a mystery. The icon version is just as distinctive.
Also, why various OP updates never changed “Save” to the graphic of a CD / DVD or flash drive is another mystery, and nowadays a Save icon should probably be a cartoon cloud.
Graphics and terminology are funny things.
reblogging this again for EVEN MORE information.
I’m mostly entertained by the guy who thinks you need to know that “case” means “box” in French as though that’s not what it means in English.
skeumorphism my beloved
I don't remember writing that but I stand by it
@presidentofthehotgirlclub not a kitty video, but i think you'll like this if you haven't seen it already
Its crazy she can even get a grip on them since they're so smooth
I come back to Tumblr for just a second and see the app is just as glitchy as ever 🙃
HOW have I never noticed???
As the sun sets, it just keeps getting worse and worse (and the wind chill is even more horrible than this!) 🥶🥶🥶
Yep, always nice when the weather person says the wind chill is going to be -47°F… 🙃
the fact that the house speaker election hasn’t been this bad since the civil war and the guy is named fucking mccarthy and it’s jan 6 … this has to be a tv show cause how do you so perfectly reference three major events of extreme internal division in the US by pure coincidence
stop listening to music and start listening to the sounds of nature. the “eagles?”The “rolling stones?” The “beetles?” Come into the beautiful forest with me and you will find all of those things friend…. I promise….If you just believe<3
In the beautiful forest you will also encounter the “mountain goats” and “corn” and “monkeys” and the “killers” and the-what do you mean what was that last one? Nothing haha don’t worry about it…………… <3
